Judy Garland - Historic Carnegie Hall Concert

2012 two CD set. Speech Project is an album of new compositions by Gerry Diver featuring exclusive spoken word contributions from Christy Moore, Paddy Moloney, Martin Hayes and Danny Meehan. Archive interviews from Margaret Barry and Joe Cooley also feature in the compositions. Whilst listening to a recorded interview of the late great accordion player Joe Cooley, Gerry noticed that the voice sounded like it was in the key of B flat minor and there also seemed to be a slip jig rhythm to Joe's voice. Gerry put the interview into his apple mac and teased out the faint 'pitch' tones and rhythms in Joe's voice... these musical hues formed the basis for two new pieces;' When in New York' and 'Old Time Musicians.
